Author: Emma Dickson

One of the best parts of Christmas Day has to be the ultimate leftover sandwich!

You might have demolished a plate full of turkey and all of the trimmings, as well a table filled with triumphant desserts, but there’s always room for more.

There’s no need to wait until 25th December, coffee shops and cafés all over Northern Ireland are offering up festive sambos already.

It’s the perfect snack if you’re out Christmas shopping or in need of a quick pick me up during lunch.

Here’s a list of popular spots across NI that are already dishing our seasonal sarnies!

Anyone down for a road-trip to try them all?
